For a deeper rosemary flavor, gently bruise the rosemary sprigs before placing them on the chicken.
If you're using thick-cut bacon, you may need to adjust the grilling time to ensure the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Marinating the chicken breasts for 30 minutes prior to grilling will make it more flavorful.
The cooking time depends on how thick the chicken breasts are, use a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked to 165°F.
